Message	The green-left oppose welfare?

Message	The state promoting population growth isn't welfare. A growing population subsidised by the state means more pressure on resources and the environment. This is unsustainable and irresponsible.

Message	Neither the title of this bill nor its description makes reference to welfare. It makes reference to growth. This bill is about encouraging population growth which as we have said will devastate our environment and resources. Growth is bad - my party opposes growth. If you want to see which party supports struggling families then please back our future proposals for higher wages, improved and subsidised public services and higher taxes for the rich.

Message	Your party opposes growth? Erm your views on illegal aliens and refugees would suggest otherwise, you clearly are not opposed to population growth, don't pretend otherwise. Like all left-wing parties population growth is fine as long as it is immigrants and not natives. The Bill title and name do not mention welfare but Article One is pretty obvious in its intent and you have voted against a uniform policy of welfare support to poor and large families.

Message	We'll have to see what you put forward. Currently your proposals only seem to benefit foreigners and criminals.

Message	At least we're not obsessed with encouraging our citizens to have sex.

Message	How are we obsessed? If anything we have strongly supported the UDTs efforts to make it harder for some people to have sex. Besides you almost say it like it is a bad thing.
